Fethiye’s harbour boat tours and nearby islands mean full days in the sun and sea. Long walking days, heat and crowds can slow recovery, so build in rest and shade and tell the doctor how your days are going.
Why Gout Happens
High uric acid levels in the blood, which form crystals in the joint. Alcohol, red meat, shellfish, sugary drinks, dehydration and some medicines can trigger attacks, and holiday eating and drinking is a common cause.
Signs of Gout to Look for
- Sudden intense joint pain, frequently at night
- Fever during a flare
- Shiny red skin over the joint
